Research demonstrates that most projects fail to deliver on time, within the allocated budget and with the expected quality of performance. Successful project management is obtained if three basic categories of project management factors are optimized:

The project hygiene support factors (strategic fit, project scope, project organization, project team, project planning and control);

The information support factors (information flow and knowledge management, project risk management, project competency development); and

The behavioural and managerial support factors (management and leadership, employee commitment and participation, internal and external communication).
